1 Introduction
The TLA2024EVM-PDK is a fully-assembled evaluation platform designed to highlight the TLA2024 features and
modes of operation that make this device suitable for low-power applications. The EVM sits on top of an
accompanying Precision ADC Motherboard (PAMBoard) used as a USB-to-PC GUI communication bridge. The
board combination also serves as an example implementation of connecting a microcontroller (MCU) to
communicate with the TLA2024 device through an Inter-Integrated Circut interface (I
2
C).
Note
The TLA2024 EVM requires an external controller to evaluate the TLA2024 device.
The PAMBoard is controlled by commands received from the TLA2024EVM-PDK GUI, and returns data to the
GUI for display and analysis. If the PAMBoard is not used, the EVM plug-in module format allows for an
alternative external host to communicate with the TLA2024 by connection through the pin headers J1 through
J4. Connections to the header are identified on the
.
The combined TLA2024EVM and PAMBoard make up the TLA2024EVM-PDK and incorporates the following
features:
• TLA2024, four input-channel ADC with header or screw terminal block input connections
• Voltage selection of 3.3 V or 5 V operation for the TLA2024 with level-shifting to the 3.3-V MCU
• Full-scale ranges from 256 mV to 6.144 V
• I
